20090016850 | Bookbinding Unit and Image-Forming System - Bookbinding unit that, in feeding cover sheets to a predetermined cover-fitting position, is able to feed various sheets/leaves, yet without defacing of or scratch marks in the cover sheets, nor press marks during cover formation, occurring. Provided are an incoming sheet conveyance path for sequentially bringing in printed sheets; a stacking tray unit for stacking and collating into bundles sheets from the conveyance path; a bookbinding process path that transports sheet bundles from the stacking tray unit to a predetermined cover-binding position; and a cover feed path for feeding cover sheets to the cover-binding position. A protective-sheet storage tray for supplying jacketing sheets is annexed to the cover feed path, and a conveyance unit that overlays fed cover sheets with jacketing sheets from their storage tray and transports the jacketed cover sheets to the cover-sheet binding position is disposed in the cover feed path. | 01-15-2009 |
20090035093 | Bookbinding Method, and Bookbinding Unit and Image-Forming System Equipped with the Same - Bookbinding unit that in binding an inner-leave sheet bundle together with a cover enables accurate binding of the cover onto the bundle's spine and meanwhile forms folding scores in the cover flaps. Furnished with: a stacking tray unit; a process path for sequentially transporting bundles from the tray unit into adhesive-application and cover-binding locations; an adhesive application unit, disposed in the adhesive-application location, that applies adhesive to bundles from the tray unit; a cover-supply unit that supplies covers to the cover-binding location; and a cover-binding unit, disposed in the cover-binding location, that binds sheet bundles from the adhesive-application location together with covers. The cover-binding unit has a shoulder-pressing unit that forms spine creases in the spine portion of the covers, and a flap-pressing unit that forms folds in the spine-creased sides of the covers. | 02-05-2009 |
20090067951 | Bookbinding Unit, Bookbinding Method and Image-Forming System - Affords a bookbinding method and bookbinding unit that attach the bookmarker string when binding inner-bound sheets coated with adhesive on the spine portion to the spine portion of the coversheet. Apply adhesive to a spine portion of inner-bound sheets collated and stacked into a bundle, join that sheet bundle to a spine portion of a coversheet, and fold the coversheet over the sheet bundle. At that time, the bookmarker string is attached to the booklet simultaneously by joining the sheet bundle to the coversheet with the bookmarker string placed over the inside spine portion of the coversheet. | 03-12-2009 |

20150086297 | SHEET POST-PROCESSING DEVICE, PAPER-MADE STAPLE USED IN THE DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE PROVIDED WITH THE SHEET POST-PROCESSING DEVICE - A sheet post-processing device includes a stacker section that temporarily stores paper sheets as a paper sheet bundle, a stopper that regulates a carrying-in direction leading end of the paper sheet carried into the stacker section, a binding section that binds the paper sheet bundle regulated in position by the stopper, and folding rollers and a folding blade that perform folding processing for the sheet bundle bound by the binding section at a predetermined folding position of the paper sheet bundle. The binding section binds the paper sheet bundle with a paper-made staple. The stopper sets a position of the paper sheet bundle such that a binding position of the paper-made staple straddles the predetermined folding position. With this configuration, there can be provided a sheet-post processing device capable of folding the staple together with the paper sheet bundle. | 03-26-2015 |
20150086298 | SHEET POST-PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE PROVIDED WITH THE SHEET POST-PROCESSING DEVICE - A sheet post-processing device includes a conveying section that conveys the paper sheet, a punch section that punches punch holes in the paper sheet conveyed by the conveying section, a stacker section that stores the paper sheet in which the punch holes are punched by the punch section, a stopper section that regulates a conveying direction leading end of the paper sheet stored in the stacker section; a binding section that binds the paper sheet bundle whose leading end is regulated by the stacker section, and a folding section that folds the paper sheet bundle bound by the binding section at a predetermined folding position. The punch section punches the punch holes at the front and rear of the folding position in the sheet conveying direction, and the binding section binds the paper sheet bundle with a paper-made staple by making the paper-made staple penetrate the punch holes. With this configuration, there can be provided a sheet-post processing device capable of easily generating a booklet for simple ring binding. | 03-26-2015 |
20150117983 | SHEET PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE PROVIDED WITH THE SHEET PROCESSING DEVICE - To provide a sheet processing device that performs saddle stitching processing that binds a bundle of stacked paper sheets at a position around a center thereof and then folds in half the paper sheet bundle at the binding portion, the device being capable of selectively performing both saddle stitching using a metallic staple and saddle stitching not using the metallic staple for environmental protection and capable of reducing a size. | 04-30-2015 |
